Excerpt from The Boy Patriot: A Story of Jack, the Young Friend of Washington
Were you ever on the coast of Maine? If so, you know howthe rocky shores stretch out now and then clear into the ocean, and fret the salt waves till they are all in a foam. Old Ocean is not to be, so set at defiance and have his right ful territory wrung from him, without taking his revenge after his own fashion. Far up into the land he sends his arms, and crooks and bends and makes his way amid the rocks, and finally falls asleep in some quiet harbor, where the tall pines stand by the shore to sing him a lullaby.
In just such a Spot as this the town we shall call Fairport was built. Axe in one hand and Bible in the other, stern settlers here found a home. Strong hard-featured sons, and fair rosy-cheek cd daughters made glad the rude cabins that were soon scattered along the shore. The axe was plied in the woods, and the needle by the fireside, and yet grim Pov erty was ever shaking her fist in the very faces of the settlers, and whispering sad things of what the uncertain future might have in store for them.
